Message	So Im thinking of what else could use changing, just to get my car close to 100%.... and I think why not PCV's ? Car has 126k on it now, and I dont know if they've ever been changed. So I call the Nissan over here, not the one I've gone to in the past... and they tell me they have "THE BEST" tech who owns 2 Z32s himself. And I just asked how much they would charge to change the PCVs bc i know it's a PITA... and they say, "why do you want to change those".. and i said bc they're old.. yada yada.... guy tells me they dont have any PCVs in my car... so I kinda laughed and said there are 2... so then i talk to their "master tech" who then says you NEVER need to change them, they are designed so they NEVER clog... I say... Um... OK.... Why are mechanics so ignorant when it comes to the Z ?? I trust ppl on this site who ive never met more than mechanics who say they know everything about them......
